I can’t see them signing him longtime. His health is too big of an issue to constitute a long term deal which he is probably seeking.

I can still walk into a bar and walk away with the best looking woman in the place, including the Patriots Cheerleaders. To be an Alpha, you either have it or you don’t. True Alphas are not insecure Betas hiding behind a false macho front. Although I’ve been happily married to my favorite 36 DDD blonde for 15 years now–and might cheat on her, and she’s confident enough to know that there was a run of 20 years as a happy-go-lucky bachelor between marriages, when I enjoyed outrageous success with women. And I’m still good friends with women half my age.

I have no idea why “Lt Col thinks what he just posted is apropos to Josh Beckett sitting down and talking about his future with the Red Sox….something tells me he hasn’t come out of his mom’s basement in quite a while

” I can’t see them signing him longtime.”???

Is 3 to 4 years contract too long for Boston to sign him??

Come on, we all know that Beckett isnt going to demand alot of money. I bet he would accept less than 10 million dollars a year. That is alot better than any top 10 paid pitchers such as Lowe, CC, CC Sabathia, Johan Santana,
Carlos Zambrano, Barry Zito, Jason Schmidt, Burkett, etc.

Beckett know that he may not be the ACE of the team anymore, but at least he can be part of the Boston rotation and help them to win it all!! That is all matter to all of us!! Think!!

@ GouconnHuskies: The guy’s won two world series. He forgoed freeangency in 2007 and signed that 12mil/yr extension with the sox. I’m sure he’s feeling a bit underpaid when the CC and the burnetts of the world have cashed in on these mega deals. He’s gonna want to cash in this time and the sox won’t sign him long term.

Lt Col sounds like PTSD to me!! Josh Beckett is not one of your girlfriends, and you can’t fool us by telling us how secure you are–cause your not!!

I agree with GouconnHuskies. Beckett will easily end up signing a 3 year 24 million dollar contract. It’s obvious. Good scouting report, GouconnHuskies. You clearly have your finger on the pulse of the league.

Trade him, the real fire has gone. sign Chapman, young with a bright future. Listen to Beckett, we’ll sit down and talk and see if we are on the same page. Sounds like a guy that KNOWS he did not come thru last year. bye-bye

red sox have alot of real good talent on the farm teams, is Theo going to give them a chance to play? These old guys have made there millions and are tired. we need some fresh legs are eager ballplayers. may take a year or two, but good wise choices pay off. Also, Jason Bay does not belong in a red sox uniform. If it’s just money he wants then go else where. Sox organization has to wake-up, money does’nt buy championships; heart and good team work will prevail.I’m not a Papelbon fan, he has worn out my respect for him, I’m sure you can get good value for him. Trade Pap, the loud mouth. I like Billy Wagner, hope sox keep him

Yeah I think the Lt Colonel tripped onto the wrong page and is probably a bit red faced.
So if Epstein bones Josh Beckett and even Papelbon then there is a big hole in the pitching staff at Fenway. Where do match-hardened replacements come from? I’d be camping on Cliff Lee’s door until he became a Red Sock. Anyway, who is the 2010 captain? Not Varitek surely?
Meanwhile, GO Phillies.

hey bradford, it’s awesome that you censored my previous comment.
fuck you, you sniveling tool. take a minute and take mike lowell’s, and beckett’s and pedroia’s collective cocks out of your mouth and re-learn what it is to be a reporter, not a pathetic sycophant.

To GouconnHuskies ~ While I agree with your premise 3-4 yrs, I highly doubt Beckett would accept less than $10 mil a year!!! No way!! He’s way underpaid as it is, now I know he’s a risk, health-wise, but teams take risks all the time and thats what insurance is for. If we could sign him for 3 years @ 12 mil that would be a bargain. Good news though, Beckett is well-grounded, he knows he still makes a boat load of money, and lets face it, he’s a Texas country boy who doesn’t live an extravagant lifestyle. Not too mention he’s already set for life fiancially.

Tards.

Epic tardfest.
